If the Xenon's are auto leveling (which they probably are) you might not be able to have the height adjusted. i had the same problem with my Audi A4 - people flashing lights at me cause mine sat high and were blinding to oncoming drivers. The Audi techs said that if they adjusted the height of the beam the car computer would just override it again.
I don't know if its necessarily the same case for the Lexus xenon's, but its possible due to the technology behind them.

All xenon's can be adjusted and must be adjusted when the are lighting above the "limit".
Mine were adjusted too low (down to the limit, I mean during driving time at night, in a rmote area with no light at all, with hilly roads, it was dangerous and had to slow down my speed to a very low one (my former 400h was adjusted perfectly). I asked the car dealer to adjust and this was not perform correctly (too high) Came back again to car dealer and adjusted too low again.
I therefore came back a bit angry and asked again for a better adjustment. Hopefully, the tech was another one and that guy was a great tech as the adjustment is now what I expected.
So this to say that there is always adjustment within the tolerable limits (hopefully).
I've discovered this when I drove a MB in the past.

Thanks for the responses but mine are not auto leveling. I converted my halogens to HID using the Xenondepot 4300K Philips HIDs. It's aimed low now, so far I haven't been flashed.
After installation, I parked the RX and drove our othe car towards the RX and I though it was blinding, so I adjusted it.
